Abstract

A circuit comprises a first transistor, a capacitive component, a second transistor, and a data line. The first transistor has a threshold voltage value. A first terminal of the first transistor is coupled with a first terminal of the capacitive component and a second terminal of the second transistor. A second terminal of the first transistor is configured to receive a second-terminal voltage value. A third terminal of the first transistor is configured to receive a third-terminal voltage value. A first terminal of the second transistor is coupled with the data line. A third terminal of the second transistor is configured to receive a second-transistor control signal. The first transistor is configured to be on and off to maintain the data line at a data line voltage value.
